Interior Ministry Okays New Name of 'Kotlebaites-LSNS'

20. novembra 2019 14:17
Bratislava, November 20 (TASR) - The Interior Ministry has registered a name change from Kotleba-People's Party Our Slovakia (LSNS) to 'Kotlebaites-People's Party Our Slovakia', TASR learnt from the ministry's press department on Wednesday. According to the ministry, the new name isn't in discord with the amended Political Parties Act, as it doesn't contain either the first name or surname of a statutory representative of the party. "At the time when registration of the new party name was applied for, the members of its statutory bodies were Marian Kotleba and Rastislav Schlosar. As neither the first names nor surnames of these individuals are included in the name of the political party, no legal reason existed to reject the registration of the new name," claimed the ministry. Earlier in the day, Parliamentary Chair and SNS leader Andrej Danko declared that some parties are circumventing the law, adding that the Interior Ministry shouldn't register the name Kotlebaites-LSNS. "As the election campaign is already under way, however, and renaming the party isn't possible, there's only one penalty left under the law. I'm curious to see whether the Interior Ministry will muster up the courage to call out the 'Kotlebaites'," he declared. mf/df
